    Ka CHing

    I found this online and found it very interesting. 13 Most Profitable Years In WWE History Most profitable years 1998 and 1999 no surprise. 2000 would have also been a good year except for the XFL thing. Surprising most of the other years were in the years after the AE. 2002/2003 you have a...

    Some Speculation Going Forward

    If you watch enough wrestling for a while over the years things often get a bit predictable. Back in the day title reigns were a bit longer. Hogan held the belt for several years and to this day the Honky Tonk Man and Demolition have the record for the longest IC and tag team title reigns. If...

    Attitude Era?

    I was there back in the day at the start of the attitude Era but never really watched it through. Now I am. I have just watched the 1st epidose of Smackdown and the Raw after that. I have been enjoying the storylines and stuff of the AE so I am wondering. DO I need to watch both Smackdown and...

    Worth Watching Modern Weekly Wrestling?

    I have had the WWE network for a while now and are currently chewing through the atitude era which Imissed a lot of. Currently up to March 1999, kind of sad in a way because Owen in May is coming up. I have enjoyed most of the modern Payper View events and have not yet tried the Cruiser Weight...

    And Why You Can't Beat WWE

    This thread is why IMHO you can't beat WWE at wrestling. I am talking about being the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. Sure it is theoretically possible but short of something dramatic happening like Vince dying or WWE going bankrupt its not gonna happen anytime soon. Rating seem to be...

    New Era/Backlash

    Long time WWF fan here retruning after a long hiatus. I watched backlash a few hours ago (not quite live). And I have also been watching the Attitude Era, currently in January 1999. My wrestling watching was sporadic between 1997-1999, one of the last things I remember was the WCW...

    Royal Rumple 1996 lol

    Back in the day I kind of enjoyed this event and I watched it again today on the network. Its probably one of the weaker rumbles but I still enjoyed it. Mainly because of who was in it and what they turned into in the attitude era. IN some ways you can see the prototype of the later gimmicks...

    Explaining the 90's

    This thread is purely IMHO explaining the 90's and why I think the Attitude era took off. The short answer is it had the right people in the right time. The key components of course are. 1. The Monday Night Wars with WCW 2. The right people (Shawn Michael's, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin...

    That 90's Guy Examines the Current Product.

    I thought I stopped wrestling back in 1997 or so but after comparing my memories with whats on the WWE network/wikipedia it turns out I was watching wrestling up to around 1999. THis was mostly WCW Nitro (I did not have RAW in New Zealand) and hired vieos of WWE main events (the big 4 + a few in...

    Why WWE Can't Replicate the Attitude Era

    As the title says. Back in the day I was there at the start of the attitude ear (1996-1998) but I missed most of it or only saw the WCW Nitro part of it p to early 1999. Over the years I have heard about it or seen some of it on youtube and I am watching some of the classic matches on the WWE...

    Timewarping Back to the Attitude Era?

    Based on the recommendations on this forum I subscribed to the WWE network. Back in the day I was wathcing WWE in the mid 90's but it has been 20 years. I remember things like Golddust turning up and Austin vs Bret submission match. Even back then it was a bit disjointed for me though as I did...

    How Brock is Going to be Beaten

    As the title says. They are building Brock into a monster heel. He ended the streak, beat Cena, made Ambrose and Orton look like chumps. There is one reason to do this and it is to have him beaten by a "hero". And I think they are going to have to do it soon due to his UFC drug cheat thing...

    So I Watched A Main Event for the 1st Time Since the 90's.

    Based on some recommendations here I subscribed to the WWE network. Long story short started wathcing the wrestling back in 1988 at the age of ten or so, was not a fan of Hulkamania but I like Jake the Snake and Ultimate Warrior along with various other wrestlers. WWE stopped screening here but...

    So Whats Happened Since the 90's;)

    Hello everyone. Backstory born in 1978 and I staerted watching Wrestling back in 1988 or so when Hulkamania was running rife. I live in New Zealand and it was not always on. In the mid 90s' I followed it by hiring out the main event VHS tapes. I figured out kayfabe sometime in the late 80's but...
